Canadian Transport amid many visitors

Blue skies, birds and babies greeted the Canadian Transport when it came into port on Sunday afternoon (above). Last year, it averaged 9.6 hours in port over the 19 trips it made to the Twin Ports. It takes a little under an hour to get from the bridge to the coal dock each way, so it averaged about 7½ hours at the loading dock. It is actually a little less than that since it took on fuel on some of those trips and probably had to wait for the dock on others. The shortest time in port last year was 7.7 hours; the longest was 17.2 hours. Photo taken on May 17, 2009
